This looks pretty amazing. Are you planning to expand it to other genres or is it limited to strictly fantasy RPGs (which would still be great!)?

I'm 33 years old and I have nothing but love for old school games. Nowadays if a game controller has more than 2 buttons on it I can't make it go. It's pathetic. I have some younger friends who all have XBox and PS2 and when I go over to their house and play I feel like Grampa Simpson. I'll break down my old school faves by console: Atari 2600 - Adventure - Warlords - Pressure Cooker (semi-obscure Activision Title where you made burgers) - Ghost Manor (XonoX double-ender, baby!) Sega Master System - Alex Kidd in Miracle World - Wonder Boy Intellivision - Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dang... I gotta go download some EMULATORS!

Altered Beast was an amazing game but I haven't thought about it in years and years. The beasts I remember were (special attacks in parentheses):Wolf ("Fastball special"-like dive attack)Bear (Breath turned adversaries into stone)Dragon (flew; shot lightning; lighting "cloud")I can't help but think I'm forgetting one beast. Help me out!

Diablo 2 was better than the original Diablo. The character classes were a lot more interesting and individual. There were also a lot more magical items and the skill paths were more robust and logical.

In the LucasArts classic "Day of the Tentacle" you could play the full version of "Maniac Mansion" (the game to which "Day of the Tentacle" is the sequel) on the computer in Weird Ed's room. I always thought that was pretty hilarious. It didn't really have a bearing on what happened in the rest of the game but it was definitely there.Another game withn a game that I really liked was the arcade console of Baby Pacman with the actual pinball machine attached to it. A truly original fusion of old and new (at the time).

I think that a person dying from a WoW binge is equal parts sad and pathetic (and I use the word "pathetic" literally, not in a spirit of condemnation). For someone to be so consumed with a form of entertainment is unhealthy but something like a WoW obsession is doubly so, in my opinion. By comparison, someone obsessed with something like golf would at least be compelled to interact with other people face-to-face. For someone to be binging on WoW to that extent smacks of desperate social isolation.I'm an introvert and I totally understand the need for "alone time" but this goes way overboard. Perhaps this individual had a legitimate fear of going out and interacting with others (agoraphobia, for example) which makes it all the more sad that he died in front of a video game.It's ironic that I'm sitting in my basement on a Saturday night posting to a forum but I think it's vital for the mental health of our global society for people to get out and engage in face-to-face activities more. If not, I fear that this kind of fatality could become an epidemic sooner than we think.

I am a huge fan of fantasy fiction but I have a hard time believing that this find is legitimate. In this day and age where Photo-Shop can be used to make almost anything look real I have a hard time believing that a mermaid washed up on the shore.

Umm... I think you forgot a very important ingredient: GRAVY!!!!

I am continually apalled at the amount of money that gets thrown at projects like the Hubble when there are so many other better uses for the billions that NASA gets every year. The US education system is failing continually, particularly in areas of urban poverty. There American workforce is getting dumber, fatter, and lazier by the minute. Money should be invested in edcuating these people and making them healthy or the US is going to go bankrupt within the next decade.Additionally, the way in which the current administration is completely ignoring environmental matters is embarrassing. What's the point of saving a populace from phantom "terrorists" and "weapons of mass destruction" if the planet is going to be uninhabitable?Scrap hubble, save the earth, feed the children. When that's done then go back to playing astronaut.

I understand the concerns regarding Net Neutrality but what can realistically be done in North America? The web as we know it exists because private companies have invested in the infrastructure to carry Internet signals. If a TV station partnered with, say, Coca-Cola they'd be well within their rights not to air Pepsi ads. I don't see how a broadband provider could be justifiably told that they could not restrict access to websites owned by their competitors.A dilemma, for sure, but unavoidable, in my opinion.
